A4 1st to 2nd shift problem The A4 in my 99 decided to cut my day short at the track. When it shifted from 1st to 2nd it made a loud grinding noise and felt like it locked up the rear wheels.
I let it cool off and the problem occurs when it trys to shift from 1st to 2nd. It never seems to release first gear. I can drive with the gear selector in first, no problem. When I let it shift to 2nd, well, it seems to bind.
This is the first Auto tranny performance car I've owned since 1984 and I havent a clue where to start troubleshooting. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Larry
